ed all classes to higher level, touched upon
the issues between capital and labor, then
passed to notice more especially the following
points.

and hardship to distinction.
Ii. The success of these great men, the
result of labor rather than genius.
III. The lessons the youth of our time may
learn from the efforts of those who reached
success.
These points were elaborated and illustrated
by a variety of incidents and anecdotes
drawn from the lives of those who were used
MS illustrations ofthe various points discussed.
This brief outline suggests ut least the points
Of departure from which the lecture advances
and the centres about which its details were
grouped.

dress. The applause he received was cordial
and prolonged and showed that he was a
favorite with the audience. The music, vocal
and instrumental, as is always expected on
these occasions at New Windsor College, was
ouite mn TO the standard. and was more than
credit to the teachers and pupils. The fol-
